Doesn't Target usually have a pretty good variety of acrylic Wine Glasses? You could probably take supplies and try them out...no one would know what you were doing.

I just paid a $20 tax for not thinking of this first. Deviously simple, appears more fair than MANY other commonly used forces. I'm very happy about this purchase, although there was an initial facepalm moment when I first watched the video.

This is really good! So clean and nobody will have any idea how it happened. I'm going to say this is an absolute steal for this price. I think I'm going to use this.

If the answer to my question reveals too much don't answer. Can the force be impromptu? In other words if I saw one person write an object down that I then wanted to force can that happen. In other words forcing on the fly. Or do you have to determine what number ,word or object you want to force in advance?
TIA |

It's not taught or intended that way, but you could do it using the method with some creative presentation.
But seriously - it's not very often a totally new, very practical method comes along. I could see this being sold to a select few for hundreds of dollars, honestly. It's so worth $20.

Is this a surefire method, or do you sometimes have to manage "unexpected outcomes"?
Thanks! |

It is not 100%, but the video also shows you how to handle unexpected outcomes.

I wouldn't go that far - but it's a very good method in my opinion.

I am asking specifically because with Clear Choice it appears that everything can be done by the spectators. But should it be that e.g. in 20% of cases I would have to equivoque out or something else fishy then I'd pass. Such techniques don't work well with my regular high IQ audiences. While it's amazing that sometimes you can fool them badly with the "easiest" of methods, they usually don't fall for verbal manipulation. |

I would posit that it's not the intelligence level of your audience, but the lack of skill with equivoque. I do not say this to disparage you as a performer or a person, just that every little system and skill mentalists use has to be developed on its own. If you haven't devoted the time to developing the skill of equivoque-ing, then it won't be as invisible as it could be.
Personally, I find that "high IQ audiences" are my favorite to use with verbal manipulations. The key is creating a logical garden path for them to travel down, and then subtly removing that explanation as possible once they have no other options. In this specific example, it's important to make the elimination sequence seem consistent and logical and free choice. There has been quite a lot of material put out about this, but I have found that when I simply keep those ideas in mind and wing it, I do the best I can.

I have used basic equivoque successfully with small random sets, but haven't focused on it yet, there is so much more to do... and I certainly won't use it in my next stage performance. Quote:

There has been quite a lot of material put out about this, but I have found that when I simply keep those ideas in mind and wing it, I do the best I can. Right - "make the elimination sequence consistent, logical, free choice" - but how do I know whether the elimination process in this method could seem fair to a clever audience without having more information about the bad outs/seen a performance that requires equivoque? Being a Mensa and Intertel member myself I have performed at many high IQ gatherings nationally and internationally over the last 10+ years. So when I appear on stage there are 100-500 open-minded, dedicated high IQ people with all kinds of backgrounds sitting in front of me. When I have volunteers on stage they often try to outsmart me - naturally! In general, a good switch will much more easily fly by them than any verbal manipulation. This "Clear Choice" could serve me well in my next appearance IF I knew that the required equivoque works (which I doubt, but I don't know the workings here). Try stuff like Colossal Blizzard 2.0 and you will go down the drain... |

Hi, I also own this effect but as far as I know it does not involve an equivoque. Rather it is a force method.
Hope that helps. Cheers Stefan |
